Mikhail Torrance on Monday reached another milestone in his recovery from a near-fatal heart attack: The former Alabama guard walked without assistance for the first time since regaining consciousness.

Torrance's condition was upgraded to stable on Sunday, and he has been moved to a private room at Sarasota (Fla.) Memorial Hospital. "He's undergoing more treatment and therapy," a hospital spokesperson told AOL FanHouse on Monday.

The 21-year-old player's recovery "is like a miracle," the player's agent, Happy Walters, told FanHouse. "He recognizes people. He laughs. He shows emotion. These are all good signs. Things are coming back. Everyone is really encouraged right now." Torrance still cannot speak, but he is responding to commands from doctors and family members and is able to eat, FanHouse reports.

Torrance collapsed during a workout Aug. 20 at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. Paramedics performed CPR on him and rushed him to a hospital. He regained consciousness last Wednesday.

He was scheduled to play professionally in Israel this season, FanHouse reports. NBA teams passed on him in the draft after a medical exam revealed a heart condition which Torrance had known about for years, the site reports.
